Product Details

The Cortez Fun Veneer 7ft 6 Package. Cortez surfboards are designed with the perfect balance of performance and wave catching ability.

The benefits of buying a surfboard package instead of the board alone are numerous. Firstly, as soon as you receive your package you can fit your fins, attach the leash, wax up the board, slip it in the bag and head to the beach! Secondly its much cheaper to buy the package than it would be to purchase the individual items separately. Last but arguably most important, is that we will ensure that your padded boardbag and the leash are suitable for the board you are buying and that the wax is correct for the current water temperature. The bag needs to be wide enough and long enough to accommodate the board with the fins fitted and needs to offer adequate protection for your brand new surfboard. We'll also ensure that the leash is the correct length and strong enough for your particular board.

These beautifully presented surfboards are constructed from a durable epoxy and natural wood veneer with a deep glossy polished shine for that classic retro appeal. If you can bring yourself to actually wax one up (they look awesome hung on the wall) you'll find the board extremely forgiving and very easy to paddle and catch waves. A nice wide platform with not too much rocker makes for a stable platform to progress while the 'tucked in' tail is loose enough for the intermediate/advanced pilot to throw a few turns. Although not bulletproof, the EPS construction is quite a bit tougher than a traditional 'custom' polyester surfboard and will keeps its looks and integrity for years with a little care and a decent boardbag. The Fun Veneer mini mal is a fantastic option for the progressing learner looking for an attractive and sensible 'step-up' board now they have outgrown their first beginner craft.The board comes equipped with an FCS 3 fin thruster fin set which means you can remove the fins easily for transportation. These Cortez Fun Veneer mini mals offer incredible value and will suit a wide range of users, from the improving learner to the intermediate/experienced surfer on a budget but still wanting a really good looking and well constructed surfboard.

On the whole I am very happy, I ordered a board package on the Tuesday so I could take it down to Croyde for an early start Saturday Morning. The board arrived Wednesday afternoon as promised, the box was a bit bent, unavoidable with an 8ft long cardboard box, so I opened it up while the courier was still here and the board was really well wrapped inside the box and everything was ok.
The first thing I did notice however, was that the pattern on the board was not what I was expecting, I had a quick look on the website and the pattern I received did not match any that were shown there. This was not a huge problem as it was still quite similar and I wasn't buying the board for its looks.
Being all keen to get the board ready for Saturday I then decided to wax it. At this point I realized I had only been supplied with a top coat wax. Whilst this is enough to get me going it would probably lead me to having to strip it all off at a later date to put a base coat on first, then the top coat. Again not a huge problem, but if I had known this was going to be the case I would have ordered some base coat at the same time to save on extra p&p charges just for £1 worth of base coat. Luckily a friend was already down in Croyde with some base coat so my Dawn patrol surf on Saturday morning involved waking him up to use his wax followed by an extra 20 minutes patiently waxing the board before I could get in the sea. Once I did get in the water the board was great, I was able to ride a whole variety of waves as the conditions steadily changed throughout the weekend and I would definatly recommened this board to any other beginner surfers.

I chose the 'package' as I needed a board to replace my current 8' 6" Gul which has twisted.
I can only compare the Cortez to that one; and it is more boyant and certainly glides better/faster even!
The Cortez certainly has good looks in its favour too.
Deal.
The wax/Leash/bag inclusive deal meant that I could take delivery and surf next day - for me this was ideal provided that the delivery came when promised. the bag was not a 'great' bag, in that it didn't have a zip on the single fin opening, it did not have any fin pocket either and the long strap was not detachable but these are not deal breakers. The bag was 9' - I would have an preferred 8' bag for an for an 8' board.
Service.
Good service. Promised next day, and came next day. Faultless. Packaging a trifle skimpy than what I would have expected - bubble wrap and shrink wrap - I would have liked to see it boxed in addition so attention would be drawn to potential damage.
